The flag, a symbol of many hopes, challenges, and horizons in the life of the entire nation and each individual, is raised daily by ROTC flight classes. 2 Theme Development In a deserted hallway sunlight breaks the darkness as students take a moment out during lunch hour to reflect upon the day ' s activities. Against the darkness of night, the brilliance of the blue and gold victory bell symbolizes one of the lighter moments in an athlete ' s career. Theme Development 3 After a hectic day of classes, Fran Rossner and Wayne Hodgetts spend a quiet moment sharing laughter and thoughts under a towering tree . . . Someone to turn to . . . in the midst of challenging horizons . . 4 Theme Development Students seek answers, light on horizons Even in the complex area of design and construction Seniors Rick Hume and Jerry Socin find that practice sheds light on even the seemingly impossible projects. As the morning sun breaks on the school, so begins another day when questioning minds seek answers and light penetrates the darkness of uncertainty. Theme Development 5 Pool, addition adds new look to campus site In the midst of crowded halls, bull- dozers. hammers, and nails, Highland High students continued in their search for new knowledge. A modern two-story addition housed the English, speech, biology, and aero-space rooms. But, before this was completed, students found themselves tramping to the junior high to learn about nouns and pronouns in the cardboard ghetto. An olympic-size swimming pool with two-one meter boards and six lanes replaced the former gym of HHS. Where trees and grass once grew, a fieldhouse and auditorium began to take shape . . . as did dreams of the school that would soon exist. Trees and shrubs add to the architectural design of the new senior court, formerly the all-school court. 6 Opening Opening 7 Upon completion the new pool offers modern facilities for classes, competition, and recreation for the community. As construction deadlines rapidly approach, workmen transform the old gymnasium into an olympic-size swimming pool. Sweeping the horizon, the geometric design of the new gymnasium adds a modern, spacious look to the campus, while providing new and better facilities. Tons of steel beams and wooden frames tower over the construction site as the dome of the gymnasium takes shape. Construction work caused major changes in school life. 8 Opening What once was the scene of many memorable moments for seniors now takes on a look of bareness and reconstruction. The landscaped court was in the wing of the school involved in the 1968 Christmas fire. Modern designs offer challenges, promises Silhouetted against the sun breaking over Highland High, steel beams arranged in modern architectural designs reached upward in search of new dimensions . . . new promises. Located between the arts and crafts room and the main office, a 1 500 seating capacity auditorium with stage and orchestra pit began to take shape. New choral and band rooms were built onto the auditorium. In front of this building, workmen struggled against time and nature to complete the circular gym. Seating 3000, the fieldhouse included a wrestling ring and sus- pended scoreboard. The confusion and uncertainty accompanying the construction soon gave way to awareness, as students continued in their pursuit of new challenges. Construction workers, with the use of cables, hoist steel beams into place forming the structure to support the auditorium roof. Opening 9 Mike Texan Young spurs enthusiasm and pride in the team and its supporters during Thursday night activities. Silhouetted against a huge, blazing bonfire. Highland boosters experience the surging spirit of Homecoming ' 69. Pep session, bonfire spark festive mood Silhouetted figures of peppy cheerleaders against a bright, orange sky, couples huddled around a warm bonfire, and the excitement of the queen being crowned began the Thursday night activities of the 1 969 homecoming. Throngs of eager students stumble through the traditional snake dance to the football field. During the pep rally, pride and spirit were reflected on the faces of team members, as cheers surged through the autumn air. Applause broke the tense silence as Pat Horst was announced the new homecoming queen. With this climax, bleachers became bare once more and thoughts were directed toward the memorable moments still to come. Opening 1 1 ' Ventures into Fantasy ' theme comes to life Colorful cartoon characters and fairy tale favorites came alive to spectators of the 1 969 Homecoming parade. Dismissed at 1 :30 on Friday, students worked to finish cars and floats. Anticipation rose to a peak as the football game against Crown Point started. Half-time festivities included a performance by the Marching Trojan Band, and the announcement of the winning parade entries. The Sophomore Class captured first place in the float competition with Chop ' Em Down; the Seniors ' Shoe ' Em placed second. Following the 42-6 victory, an alumni coffee hour welcomed the graduates. With the end of the Saturday dance, three homecoming days became part of the past, leaving only a storybook of memories from Ventures into Fantasy. Letter man Jerry Socin, senior, catches the football near the end zone after a Bulldog kick-off. For the first time at Highland, the sophomore class captures the first place float trophy with Chop ' Em Down.

After weeks of individual preparation and rehearsals, the pageant rapidly approached, but out of the competition emerged stronger friendships. Judging consisted of five categories — poise and appearance, scholastic achievement, talent, youth fitness, and a judges ' conference. After receiving the youth fitness and poise and appearance awards, Carol Bunchek proudly accepted her new title as Highland ' s Junior Miss. Looking back, the long hours and aching muscles had been worth every minute, for each girl achieved a feeling of personal satisfaction that could not be measured.

Seniors strive toward new, distant horizons As 391 solemn faces awaited the moment when they, the class of 1969, would become alumni of Highland Senior High, memories flashed through their minds. It all passed so quickly . . . homecoming, floats, prom, and now, graduation. Tears of sorrow and bewilderment streamed from the knowing eyes of these young men and women. We have crossed the bay; the ocean lies before us became their motto as they strove toward new and distant horizons. Whatever the future brings, the graduates will never forget the years they spent in high school. Though they have moved on, they have not abandoned us. Behind, they have left an honor, distinction, and pride in being a Highland student, for here the groundwork was laid, preparing them for something on a once dim horizon where dawn was just beginning to break. Class president Jeff Harkin. co- valedictorians Dave Dibble and Sue Horst, and salutatorian Don Clemens are honored at graduation Steve Bruner, along with his fellow members of the class of ' 69, receives his diploma and words of congratulations and encouragement offered by Superintendent Allen J Warren. Opening 25 As we walk into class whether it is earth science or calculus, there is the presence of uncertainty . . . half the ratio of A to B is equal to .. . what does it all add up to? . . . the basic knowledge we gain during our high school years . . . this is the element that makes it possible for the sun to rise . . . gives us a little more understanding and in- sight . . . with the opening of each book the light surges forth to creep into our receptive minds . . . to be deflected or absorbed . . . the atmosphere wavers between uncertainty and understanding . . . but there are always new books . . . more things to learn . . . sometimes the future looks dark . . . the sun is always there, but it cannot always be seen . . . through ACADEMICS we learn to see and take part ... it is the awakening . . . the beginning of light ... in our minds. A cademic. Academics 27 ROTC enters exhibit in fair, presents colors during games Drilling, personal inspections, ranks, and heritage of the military instilled self- discipline in the Air Force Junior ROTC classes. Field trips and an Indiana State Fair exhibit about aero-space education offered students the basics of the aero- space industry while they enjoyed a break from the regular routine. ROTC squads presented colors during home games, raised and lowered the flag before and after school, and marched in several parades. Fund raising projects included the selling of blue and gold Trojan license plates. Airline systems, spacecraft and launch vehicles, and space operation compose a part of the aero-space industry. By gaining knowledge in these areas, the cadet gives himself every possible opportunity for advancement in future employment. Joe Hirtz. senior, boosts spirit and makes money for the ROTC department by selling a Trojan license plate to Senior Mike Curtis. 28 Academics Major Preston Phillips lectures to flight classes and answers questions about various phases of aeronautics Cadet Junior Mike Pigozzi ' s image reflects the goals of ROT C: neatness, discipline, and respect. Academics 29 Lab partners Juniors Jayne Seketa and Joe Senetar learn the importance of accuracy and alertness in performing chemistry experiments. Microorganisms magnified hundreds of times under a microscope are only one of the many biological wonders that Junior Joan Strange encounters in her study of life. Seniors Fred Stacy, Evan Studer, and Joe Joyce find experimenting vital in meeting the challenge and solving problems of physics in a cafeteria classroom . Science students face challenges of future One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. The first man on the moon. Neil Armstrong, commander of the Apollo XI moon flight, provided the motivation for others to explore the unexplained aspects of science. Through research and discussion, biol- ogy students studied the possibilities of life in unknown areas along with the fun- damentals of terresterial existence. Preliminary experimentation with phys- ical and chemical changes set the pace for chemistry students to better understand the ever-changing world about them. Intrinsic differences of history, origin, and changes between the earth and the moon furnished discussion topics for the earth science classes. Physics students investigated such phenomena of nature as inertia, gravity, and force, in order to relate these studies to similar ones on other planets. Specimens such as the rat held by lab assistant Senior Sam Carman enable advanced biology students to delve further into the aspects of life Academics 3 1 Rulers, compasses prove useful to students Using slide rules, protractors, and compasses, potential mathematicians combined skills and knowledge to unravel mathematical problems. Computer programming and computer- ized math offered students a chance to further develop their mathematical abili- ties. litran became the language of the students, as they programmed computers with the essential information. By utilizing the results, they aimed for accurate an- swers to complicated questions. With the aid of mathematical tables and slide rules, students in calculus and analytical geometry learned to solve some of the complex problems of today ' s tech- nically-oriented world. Through solving problems, math stu- dents gained a sense of logical reasoning important in today ' s fast-paced world. Solving a complicated trigonometry problem. Junior Gary Arner applies his reasoning and then turns to classmates lor approval litran becomes a new language for computer programming students Rich Miller and Ed Ross as they master the operation of intricate machines used in solving today ' s complex problems 32 Academics Senior Lee Ann Harshbarger learns to type from the dictation she hears through the dictaphone. The skills she develops will help her in an actual office job. Business ' boom ' handled by new addition 123456 X 78910 . and instantly the answer appeared on the electronic cal- culator belonging to the business depart- ment. This machine was the only one of its kind in the Lake County School System and worked complicated problems in less than a second. Operating on transistors, the calculator made virtually no noise and could hold up to 30-digit answers. The antithesis of this silence was the constant clatter of business machines in the east wing, ranging from typewriters to duplicating machines. To keep up with increasing enrollment, the business de- partment added three teachers. In its second year, the distributive education program grew in size from nine to nineteen students. Prerequisites for this program included salesmanship, mer- chandising and distributive education. Just one of the machines available for use by business machines students. Debbie Krucik and Judy Ingram, is a mimeographer Academics 33 34 Academics Mr. Gregory Petrin. government teacher, poses a thought-provoking question With a quizzical look he awaits a response . . . Yet, there is no response By looking at the life line on Marsha M inter’s hand. Laura Steen attempts to explain to her what the future will bring and how long she will live. Seniors Gail Klacik. Betty Kooistra, Debbie Harrington, and Barb Fistrovich work on group memory experiments to aid them in their understanding of psychology. Social sciences emphasize present unrest In U. S. history. Junior Shelley Anton explains the effect of geography and location on the history of the various states, using the map in the text to help her. Concentrating on the American repub- lic and its operations, history classes com- pared U S. government with others to better understand our national heritage. Competition, profit, and risk were terms used by economics students to explain our country ' s free enterprise system. In psychology, students were given a chance to participate in various mind- learning experiments. Investigating the fields of astrology, numerology, and palm- istry, psychologists related the functions of these sciences to human behavior. While sociology classes discussed current social problems with stress on moral attitudes, world problems students viewed the unrest present in areas like Vietnam and the Middle East. Geography students learned the physical character- istics of different countries, and gained insight into their cultural achievements through the years. Academics 35 Students gain insight by reading literature By writing themes and discussing novels. English students aimed for one main goal: to express their ideas clearly and fluently. Learning weekly vocabulary lessons and the basic principles of gram- mar enabled students to better voice their views. Dramatizations of plays and oral readings helped class members to under- stand the meaning and value of the litera- ture read. World literature and creative writing offered seniors a means of satisfying their own special interests. Students in these classes studied literary works and wrote compositions on subjects of their own choosing. Building upon their acquired English skills, foreign language students learned the fundamentals of French, German, Spanish, and Latin. Through listening comprehension drills, dialogues, transla- tions, filmstrips, and writing themes, these students became more proficient in their ability to speak the language. Amidst the serene atmosphere of the library. Senior Sharon Kulasa realizes the value of studying American literature and authors. The use of a tape recorder in studying languages is found to be quite helpful to German students Sally Ohm, junior, and Pat Gallagher, senior. 36 Academics Slouched in her chair deep in thought , Sophomore Beth Woo ston outlines in her mind the ideas she wants to express in her theme. Due to construction, students endured the inconveniences of the cardboard jungle where English classes took place. Providing entertainment for their speech class. Bill Jacobs and Van Goodwine demonstrate how to play the guitar and banjo, respectively. Journalism students study samples of local newspapers to see actual examples in which the basics of advertising are put to use. 38 Academics Clammy hands, failing voices soon disappear Imagination and persistence were the keys as students strove to communicate with one another. Pantomimes and various types of speeches served as practice for the speakers to overcome their nervousness. As the failing voices and the clammy hands disappeared, improvement in such areas as diction, clarity, and fluency was noticeable. Debating, a battle of wits, combined the thrill of competition, teamwork, and good sportsmanship to teach students to speak with forcefulness and intelligence. Drama class, too, proved beneficial, as students i ncreased their poise and self- confidence. Presenting Laugh-Out, a take-off on Rowan and Martin ' s Laugh- In, was one new feature of the class. Pica, bleed, and widow soon became everyday words to journalism students. By learning the different feature ap- proaches, they strived for original copy. Sue Centner, sophomore, finds it difficult to talk and set Sophomore Jane Emerson ' s hair at the same time in front of classmates. To improve their speaking skills. Seniors Sam Carmen and Sue Peterson debate on a current controversial subject From the take-off on Laugh-In, Senior Carol Krygoski and Sophomore Herman O ' Conner portray the old lady and crippled old man who never seem to get along Academics 39 Shop expands training, skills for future use Working feverishly to get an assignment in on time. Junior Bob Cardenas completes a precise, scaled drawing of the exterior of a home. Industrial arts offered students an opportunity to obtain and to increase their knowledge of mechanical devices and industrial design. Daily training and practice in their selected fields enabled the students to better understand the complexity of their work. Efforts were rewarded with com- pleted projects, such as cabinets and chairs. Precision, imagination, and patience were instilled into the minds of shop class members. Focusing upon these ideals, prospective craftsmen, mechanics, and draftsmen acquired the experience neces- sary for possible occupations. With smudged faces and inquisitive minds. Seniors Dave Mika and Tom Arrington ponder over the complex interior of an engine, trying to correct some small problem 40 Academics Shielding his eyes and hands from flying sparks. Paul Marias utilizes a blow torch to weld a chair that needs repairs Welding is just one of the skills learned in metal shop Measuring and fitting a cabinet front involves the mastering of several woodshop skills, as discovered and practiced by Senior Dave Lorman During graphic arts class. Sophomore Bob Timm learns how to set type and other basics of various printing methods Patience, diligent work, and imagination are characteristic of Junior Kathie Schaller as she puts finishing touches on a dress with the look of today. Homemakers prepare for years to come Amidst the buzzing of sewing machines and the banging of dishes, home economic students attained first-hand information about the art of homemaking. As future homemakers, these girls ac- quainted themselves with the areas of clothing and textiles, food and nutrition, family living, and home management. One major objective in the clothing classes was to combine skill and imagi- nation in creating the new look in fashion today. While the foods classes learned the principles and practices of preparing meals, the family living classes debated some of the problems in dating, engage- ment. and marriage. Juniors and seniors in home manage- ment classes discussed consumer buying and other budget problems facing today ' s housewives. Grating cheese for a macaroni and cheese casserole is just one of the chores Senior Pat Denny and future homemakers learn how to perform while in foods class. 42 Academics Fine arts classes encourage creativeness, free expression Through both art and music, students learned to be creative and original. In this way, fine arts encouraged true freedom of expression. Beginning arts and crafts classes stud- ied the principles of design, technique, and color coordination before undertaking such projects as rug weaving, pottery, and collages. Analyzing and identifying slides, along with library research, comprised the es- sential study material for the art history and art appreciation classes. As new features this year, the music department added two mixed singing groups and a stage band. Solo work, state contest, and taping Christmas concert selections for a record improved individual abilities while perfecting the sound of the group as a whole. Music students, accompanied by the piano, practice daily to achieve the best quality in their vocal tones and song arrangements. The library is used for class until new accomodations are made ready. By making use of the necessary utensils for pottery-making. Paula Estes, junior, molds a day pot. which will be fired in a kiln when completed. Academics 43 Making the best of available facilities, the girls ' physical education classes do exercises in the locker room to the record Go You Chicken Fat. Go! Pool provides indoor activity during winter This year for the first time, a six-week period on the instruction of swimming and diving was offered. Boys ' and girls ' classes participated and while doing so, learned the rules of water safety. One of the many handicaps imposed upon the physical education classes was the lack of indoor activities due to the construction of the new gym. Outdoor sports such as tennis, soccer, track, and softball were emphasized. Particularly during the winter months, students utilized their time preparing for skill and endurance tests. This was ac- complished through daily calisthenics, tumbling, and other gymnastics. Balance was one of the main targets strived for as students participated in bowling and dancing. In spite of the cramped quarters, both mental and physical achievements were successfully developed. George Krizman, junior, tries to free himself from Senior Phil Daville ' s attempt to tackle him and carries the ball on down the field for his team. Jr. High opens for HHS summer schedule Basket weaving, a seemingly impossible feat, is only one of the many projects tackled by craft students under the direction of Mr. Stan Lampa in summer school. Amidst the oohs and ahs of classmates, a young gymnast overcomes the fear of falling and balances herself in a hand stand position in the uneven parallel bars Amidst the clatter and clutter of con- struction. 654 students awaited the start of summer school after a brief vacation. For eight weeks students attended classes to gain credit for required courses, while others chose to improve skills like typing and painting. Combining grace with ability, gym students utilized the balance beam, uneven bars, and trampoline. Due to the addition of an extra class, the driver education program increased its enrollment of trainees to a record- breaking 384. The summer school faculty grew to a total of thirty-two teachers, twenty of which comprised the driver edu- cation staff. Because of the construction at the high school, all classes except computer pro- gramming were conducted at the junior high.

Men of Troy place second in conference Desire, teamwork, and hours of prac- tice were the keys to the 1969 football team, which compiled a 5-4 record and placed second in the Calumet Conference. September 5 marked the first game for the squad and also the first loss, as Michigan City secured a 22-14 win. Fol- lowing two triumphs over Lake Central and Hanover Central, the team encoun- tered arch-rival Munster in The Battle of the Bridge. Determination alone could not carry them to victory as the Mustangs overpowered the Trojans 33-14. Merrill- ville also defeated Highland 13-0. Homecoming arrived and with it came victory as the Men of Troy conquered the Crown Point Bulldogs 34-6. After losing to Chesterton, the football team trounced Lowell and Griffith.

Memories of the way a certain teacher had of making the class laugh, the time the junior class sponsor climbed the tree in front of a student ' s home, that cool, young teacher rocking out at After- Prom. and a coach who really gets in- volved in the team are all images which truly represent faculty members at High- land. As a result of these images, students of Future Teachers of America again honored the teachers with a breakfast. Each person on the staff was given a car- nation or a corsage and greeted by club members. To build friendly relationships among members of the teaching staff they got together weekly to bowl in leagues at Plaza Lanes and at various other times of the year for informal gatherings and picnics in the homes of the staff.

The building has seen another group of con- fused sophomores become a part of the student body and has seen a class leave with emotions of sadness and readiness to enter a new life. How was 1970 different? In the 70 SHIELD the staff has tried to capture the HORIZONS of Highland High students in a way which allows each person to relate personally with the ideas expressed. To express the HORIZON theme a photograph including the sun, a student, and current construction was printed on the cover by a lithograph process. Mr. Jack Bundy of S. K. Smith Company, Chicago, Illinois advised the major editors in their decision about the cover. Delmar Printing Company of Charlotte, North Carolina was responsible for typesetting and printing the book. Mr. Ed Hackleman was the company ' s expert representative who helped the major editors plan the book. Various sizes of Universe Medium type were used for the copy. Gray blocks were used on the division pages and in the athletics section. The paper stock used was 80 pound Warrens enamel dull. This paper brought out the true color of the color pictures fou nd in the first 16 pages and the sharpness of the black and white photographs in the rest of the yearbook. Walinger Studio in Chicago, Illinois provided many of the excellent photographs. Their photographers were responsible for senior portraits, group, academic, sports, candids. and the color pictures. All the divi- sion pages and the remainder of the group, sports, academics, and candids were taken by Geary Smith with the assistance of Dave Elswick and Don Rietman. Underclassmen individual photographs were taken by Interstate Studios. 1970 Shield Staff Editor-in-chief Assistant editor Jayne Seketa Copy Editor Rosemary Goolik Associate copy editor Laraine Dunning Senior layout editors Sue Peterson, Jean Zajac Junior layout editor Linda Eldredge Photographer .

Linda Eldredge enjoys today and expresses a smile of hope for tomorrow, a characteristic of underclassmen. At times, tears explained the feelings of Pam Ciochina as well as other members of the student body. It was over ; we did not have another chance to meet the challenge. Silhouetted against the sun. students of Highland High walked their horizons individually and as a group, guided by the other people who are a part of the school. Horizons of today, this year fade into darkness; Each night, after a long and active day for students, darkness and a feeling of loneliness settles over the school grounds. Exhausted from the challenges of school. a student gives in for a moment and finds escape by catching up on lost sleep. 206 Closing new light will come with tomorrow ' s dawn A dark, deserted hall ... an exit sign symbolize the end of another phase of existence Whether we met them or not. the horizons of this year are gone.
